The special vinyl edition costs $31.89.
She also has for sale the original 1989 Taylor’s Version vinyl – it’s the same cover art as the CD version and the cassette version.
Taylor’s 1989 version will feature all of the re-recorded 1989 songs, plus five additional songs.
The five songs are previously unreleased songs from The Vault – she hasn’t revealed the names of the new songs.
The original 1989 album was released in 2014.
Taylor has already re-recorded Fearless, Red and Speak Now – in 1989 Reputation and Taylor Swift left to re-record.
The decision to re-record her albums came after her record label Big Machine Records was sold to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings – which included the master recordings of her six albums she made under the label.
He never asked Taylor or gave her the chance to buy her masters, which she revealed publicly.
Scooter sold the masters to Shamrock Holdings for $300 million in 2019.
She released Taylor’s Version for Fearless in April 2021, for Red in November 2021 and Speak Now in July 2023.
